Front rotor from a 1994 Mazda mpv will work with the 300z calipers. The hub height is taller so a only a 3mm caliper spacer is needed. This helped me with wheel/caliper clearance. The diameter is slightly smaller than the z32 rotor so you must use 94 landcruiser pads.

You prob blew the ignition fuse. Ignition lead wakes ecu up. The cooling fan is the culprit if you are using an ignition lead to power the fan. The fan pulls too many amps.

No solution yet. I did try to source the lead from the ecu but it didn't work. The tach needle just jumped randomly. I'l get the tach adapter from the Russian. I swapped a 3uz into a 90 supra running 1uz vvti harness and ecu.

^ welcome to the 1uz vvti club. If you go 5 speed, the Russian sell a transmission emulator that definitely made a difference in my 3uz swap

^ is right. I bought a hacked 4.0 1uz vvti ecu from the Russian to run the 4.3 vvti 3uz I'm swapping into my supra. Seems be fine but I haven't fired the motor up yet. Just checked for a working cel and diagnostics. All is good. The Russian installed a board to bypass the immobilizer in my ecu but now he can alter the software in the ecu.

Would def put down better times with traction. My 1uz swapped Mx83 ran 14.6 @ 95 with the automatic trans and a 4.30 supra lsd.

The rear O2 sensor wiring is part of the chassis harness. It's patched into one of the body plugs from the engine harness. You will have to splice in an extension to rear O2 sensors. Remember, the rear O2 sensor harness goes through the floorboard on the LS400.

Thumbs up on keeping the flaps.

I know it's considered an abomination but I was about to do the accord bumper on my gold cressida before I traded it with a good friend. He's keen on doing it so I'll help him when he gets it in.

Yeah. That was him.

Damn. I think I met the PO of this car at Hyperfest two weeks ago. He was checking my cressida out and told me he was from MD. He said had sold a white cressida with a chaser front end and JZ motor swap. Nice work on bringing it back.

Did you change the front crank seal? I've had it fail on two of my swaps after being too lazy to change it before installing the engine. Fucking thing dumped oil like a mofo when the old seal failed.

Zoku, Can't blame yourself much, look at all the positive feedback you had.

NICE! I would love a 1uz powered 4x4. I almost bought a 5 speed 93 4runner to do the same swap but the wife wouldn't let me bring anymore cars home at the time. I'll do one next year. The vvti 1uz motors are starting to show up at my local junkyards now. I now have a 4.0 vvti and a 4.3 vvti sitting on my garage floor waiting for a chassis.

I'm pretty sure I saw this car in person near Richmond at a meet last fall. Pretty nice.
